In cold weather I keep my 642 in the patch pocket of my old leather jacket. ParaOrd Companion C7.45 LDA either in the front, zippered pocket of my computer bag or in a belt slide holster. The computer pocket is lined with foam to hold the gun in place and has a nice slab of thick mouse pad in front of the gun to prevent 'print through'. Driving at night I switch to a Ruger P95 with Crimson Trace Grips (my old fart, where did I leave my bifocals? gun) in an Uncle Mikes molded paddle holster in cross draw position. Just recently bought a used Star BM 9mm I am experimenting with. Also considering carrying my Sigma .40VE or Springfield XD 9mm but do not have a dedicated holster for either yet. In Summer I frequently carry a P3AT or small 9mm IWB using an attached clip. Tried the Grip Clip on a full sized 1911 and was not too happy with it. Thinking about making something similar for one of my smaller 1911s.
